Wsiegel Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 +1 for being in the know... great job Hal. Now maybe you can actually focus a bit on playing the new version :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsaken Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thank you, Hal. I've been quiet on the forums lately after starting a new job, but once Alpha 10 is up and going I will be around again and continuing on my prefabs and my town additions. This will make getting back into the groove so much easier since updating my past work prior to Alpha 10 won't take a tenth of the time I was expecting now!

bigc90210 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 congrats to you HAL, thanks for all the hard work youve put in, just seen in the logs that you're working on some official 7d2d which is amazing, well done!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigc90210 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 just went to convert one of my prefabs to test the converter, am i right in thinking its still got the a9.3 itemid list? just my prefab is totally broken in game (in terms of lamps everywhere instead of carpet haha), but the editor is saying the blocks are fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppycur Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Could I get a direct link to the converter? The .zip that I download from the other thread /says/ it's PrefabConverter.zip, but contains the files for the regular prefab [I]editor[/I]. What's really weird is when I download the xml program, it /says/ it's XmlEditor-Latest.zip, but contains the [I]same files[/I] as PrefabConverter.zip. So either the file server keeps giving me the wrong files, or I'm just completely baffled and can't find any buttons or feature in the new editor to convert prefabs. I've tried in both Firefox and IE just to make sure I'm not running any crazy extensions (vanilla IE, like, first time use IE), and also ccleaner'ed just to make sure some weird cookies weren't installed.

HAL9000 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hey guys, The links in the [URL="http://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?18501-Tools-and-Modding-for-Alpha-10"]post for the other tools[/URL] are now working. I couldn't release them till A10 was out and I missed the release. The prefab editor isn't updated yet. I couldn't prepare it because of any last minute changes. I'll let you know when it's available. Hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppycur Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not sure if this is relevant knowledge for when you release the new version of the editor, but when using the OLD editor to fix the doors that didn't convert properly, saving the prefab resets all of the orientations to DownWest. Well, for me, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for me, anyway...[/QUOTE] Thanks Guppy but that is expected behaviour. You'll need the updated version of the editor to load A10 prefabs. There's hundreds of changes that need applying to make the editor work again. I'll be looking at it soon. I'll probably cut back on the functionality and concentrate on the core first. My first goal will be to get the prefab editor working. Then will come claims/saves and then finally all the extra stuff. I've not even looked at the world editor because all the errors makes me feel sad haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppycur Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I think you're making the right call; the time it takes just to focus on the editor... I don't even see how you managed to BEGIN those other projects. Anyway, wanted to make sure you knew. I guess it makes sense, since the default blocks are DownWest and we're basically switching blocks. If you could fix the doors on the converter, I doubt we'd need to do any editing; on my prefabs at least, everything converted well except for the doors. Basically, the doors got converted to two doors (bottom and top), problem is now that doors are one block they overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you send me an example prefab? Trees are the same. There's now a way of telling if a block is a child of another and this helps the game to decide what gets rendered.

Guppycur Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Tinyupload seems to be having problems, so [URL="http://www.filedropper.com/gup-bank"]here [/URL] is the A9 version, but I've never used this hosting service, let me now if there are issues. You'll see that the front doors (SecureMetal) are fine, but the interior doors (SecureWooden) go all loopy. [URL="http://www.filedropper.com/gup-bank_1"]Here [/URL]is the A10 version.

HAL9000 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Update Time! Updated: A10 Support Removed: DLL Modifications Updated: Prefab Block IDs Added: Block Meta2 access IMPORTANT!!! When updating through the editor it will ask you if you want to update the DLL. Say No or bad things will happen! The prefab editor now works with A10 prefabs (and only A10 prefabs). If you still have an A9 prefab you want to work on put it through the converter tool first (link at the bottom of this post). There's currently no DLL modifications needed for the game. So do not copy any DLL files from the editor to the game. This means all "bbb" commands won't work. The way decals work has also changed. You still set the damage to 15 but then you have access to a new meta data dropdown. Meta1 sets the block face the decal will be displayed on and Meta2 sets which decal to use. As always, report your bugs.

xtended2l Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi HAL! First, thank you for updating this great tool for A10. I waited for it impatiently. Now, about bugs, i've got a strange behavior with a "Damage" modificator. 1. I see all blocks "Damage" set to 0 in the editor. At the same time, I see damage level of the blocks ingame, when I load prefabs. 2. I cannot change damage level of the blocks to anything except decals. 3. When I switch between layers, the blocks on the screen, that I know are damaged in the current prefab, convert to another blocks. Impatiently waiting for a fix, and thank you again!

Now switch through the layers, all pixels at the same coordinates will change, sometimes to air, sometimes to other blocks, I cannot find an algorythm how it happens. I hope it helps.
